The present invention has todo' with an improved type of coke oven wall in which the ineshwork of 'in'ipingcinei'it passages is so formed that, as the gases travel in n dircction generally parallel to the direction of the courses, the gases will be thrown 01" impinged hack and forth against different por tions of the well. Furthermore. the present invention has to do with a construction of notched blocks which are so formed that, when set together, they will provide the aforementioned heating wall havinggas oils sages of the character mentioned. 1 Other objects and uses of the invention to will appear from a detailed description of the some which consists in the features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

5 and 6 show respectively a horizontzil plan and a vertical elevation of one iof the key-stone blocks which is used in the construction of the said well. i The heating we l herein disclosed comprises a series of courses, such formed or built up from notched blocks of the detailed construction shown in 8,4, 5, and 6. Each ol'ocii is shown being recessed on its 'iejccs at points 7 and 8, the reces on theface 7 lying in the direction of the course, and the recess 8 lying across the course. The central portion of the hlocl: 9

direction oi the li s Furtl' crniore,this central portion 9 lies sdjacent to one of tie horizontal faces of-the block, the recess 7 being adjacent to the other horizontal face. Consequently, when each hlcck isiset into place in its course, the con tral or web portion 9 willfoccu'p a position adjacent to one corner 0 the block, as is well shown in Fig. l.

It is to be observed that the central portion l of each block is of semi-hexagonal cross section presenting the faces 10, 11, and 12. Consequently, when. two of these blocks are set together with their fiat faces 13 in Contact, a hexagonal cross bar 01 bafiie member will be provided In building up a wall "from the following: procedure may One block will be laid with its central portion 9 in the lower right hand corner; the next blocl: that course will be laid with its central portion 8) in the upper right hand corner, this being done liyqurning the block end forond and also turning its other face upward; the next block will he laid in the same position as the first one; the nests block in thesoinc position {IS the second one these blocks, he adopted et seq.v In laying the next course, a simi-- cessive courses facing alternately toward lar procedure will be adopted, but the blocks willall be turned end for end as compared tothe corresponding blocks of the course below, so that the central portions 9 of the blocks of the two courses will be brought 'intoproper cotiperativ'e relationship.

Owing to the presence of the notches 8 q in the blocks, vertical'passages 14 will be established inzthe' completedwall. Horizontal passages 15 will be established be-' 1 tween t e blocks of the pairs of courses, by reason of the presence of. the notches 7. However, on account of the alternate rever- 16 sal of thepositi'ons of the consecutive blocks in each course,-the passages 15 step alter- -nately up and down, as the path is followed .across the wall, so that gases flowinginla generally horizontal direction are baflled 20 andcaused to impinge with violence against portions of the blocks. When the notches .7 are relatively shallow enough as compared to the thickness oft-he central portions 9, the

passages 15 will be completely baffled, so

26 that itjwill be impossible for any portion of the gas to travel horizontally without encountering a'bafiing surface.

While I have herein shown and described only a single embodiment of the features 0t 80 my invention, still it will be understood that I do not limit myseli to the said embodiment, except as I may limit myself in the claims. 7
